Coronation Street could be lining up as many as five exits in the coming weeks, as part of two separate storylines.
Two residents plan to leave the ITV soap, which airs on Virgin Media One in Ireland, after recent events involving a racist group led by Griff, who could also finally depart the cobbles.
Elsewhere, two other Weatherfield residents may be forced to do a runner after a sinister threat from newcomer Damon Hay - who finally shows his true colours to son Jacob.

In the fallout to something that happens at the Weatherfield Peace Market at the start of the new year, two teens find themselves wanting to go under the radar after their links to an extremist group are revealed.
Max Turner, the son of David Platt, was recently groomed and brainwashed by Griff and his racist friends, as they began to spread their vile propaganda across Weatherfield.
Things took a turn though when Max was injured, as what seemed to be a bomb blew up in the car he was in - while Griff forced him to stay quiet.
In upcoming scenes Max panics, when he fears something terrible will happen at the market - but can he stop Griff in time?
What is known is that the following week, Max decides to grass on Griff and the group - leading to a showdown with the leader, and soon dad David gets involved. As the week goes on, Spider vows to catch Griff and this could be the last we see of him, Mirror UK reports.
Max is left in a state as residents struggle to get past his involvement in the group, leaving him feeling isolated.
Newcomer Lauren, the daughter of one of the members of the extremist group, confirms she is leaving after everything that has happened. She tells him that she’s going to stay with her Mum in Devon and that he should come with her.
Elsewhere, Damon finally shows his true colours as he gets son Jacob caught up in dodgy dealings again before attacking him.
Damon tells him that if he wants to protect girlfriend Amy Barlow, he needs to disappear for good.
Jacob then tells Nick how Damon is smuggling drugs through The Bistro and he has no choice but to leave as Amy’s life is in danger.
But as he goes to flee, Amy walks in on him, so will he get away and could she go with him?
